Financially Comfortable

 So, yesterday turned out to be sort of a day of accomplishments, and sort of not.  Chores were finished, however, my morning was pretty much wasted.  Usually, I go to my local VA clinic for my Covid and flu shot, however this year, because of scheduling (theirs is odd) that didn't happen, so I drove down to the Lebanon VA facility since they take walk-ins.  Unbeknownst to me, they ended their walk-in policy on Friday and you now needed to make an appointment.  This meant I needed to go to my Veteran's group (Liberty) on the 3rd floor, make an appointment, and wait 45 minutes.  What I was expecting to take 90 minutes ended up taking 3 hours.  Because of that waste of time, I had to re-evaluate, are adjust the chores I wanted to get done accordingly.  Some will now get done this morning.  

Oh, and my left shoulder is sore.

Temps are predicted to climb into the 50s (F), but then the bottom will dropping out off the thermometer and we will descend into very cold temps after an onslaught of rain and snow.  Right now, our total accumulation, if the weather forecasters are correct, is going to be around 3/4 inch, of course, they are weather forecasters and known for their inaccuracies.

I was going to go to the movies this week with my movie buddy, but we've pretty much put that on hold because of the holiday.  Too many children our on break from school, and that means lots of kids running around the movie theater.  Most are fine and realize they're paying there money to sit in a seat and watch a movie, but then there are those who completely fail to grasp the concept of "going to the movies."  They think they're at home, in their living room, who will go to the concession stand, and then 20 minutes go to the restroom, and then go out into the hallway to check their text messages.  So, we're going to wait until next week.

And, because it's Wednesday, here is the obligatory of Howie.  This one is called Howie in the leaves; Essential Action Photo.

And an old Navy buddy of my posted his version of FAFO on Facebook regarding the increased prices we're all going to be paying thanks to the American Voter.  I'm still in the process of increasing the size of my pantry, which looks like it might be called a larder because it's mostly my back porch which is unheated.  He got a complaint from a woman about his "throwing the fact that he was financially comfortable."  I chuckled.  Doesn't everyone want to be financially comfortable?  Isn't that why we work most of our lives?
